Change Other Password field

The "Change Other Passwords" field is greyed out, how do I enable it? Also wanted to know how to enable it where it would ask me not only for a user name and password at the login prompt, but a domain as well. Thanks for your help!

To expound a little on this: If you want this enabled you have to right-click network neighborhood and highlight microsoft client for networks and go to properties. Put a checkmark in log into a domain

Sorry, I'm running Windows 98. The Change other passwords field that I'm talking about is when you go to control panel then click on passwords, it has change windows password and change other passwords. I'm worried about change other passwords.

stevenlewis, I checked out this URL http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/134/ and it gives some good information, but is there a way that I can do it without making the changes to my registry? It seems like I can make the changes to enable it to ask for a Domain, when I first install Windows??

You should go to network neighorhood properties, make sure that you have the Microsoft Network Logon Client installed, if not click add, client, microsoft network client.

In the client properties you may set it to logon to a domain and enter the default domain name. Once this is done, you're change other password should be activated once you logon to the domain. It's probably grayed out because you're not login on a domain for the moment, onlay a workgroup or something like that...

Are you going to an event? Are you going to be exhibiting at a tradeshow? Talking at a conference? Using a promotional banner in your email signature ensures that your organization’s most important contacts stay in the know and can potentially spread the word about the event.

I just checked two 98 machines and I think Corvax hit the nail on the head here. The machine I have set to log into a Domain I am able to access the change password and the other machine which is not set to log into a Domain is greyed out. Dave

To expound a little on this: If you want this enabled you have to right-click network neighborhood and highlight microsoft client for networks and go to properties. Put a checkmark in log into a domain and add a name for a domain. Recognize if you do this when you log in you will get an error that says domain is not availble and click OK. You will now see the password change is able to be changed. Dave
